CLI management system
With software version 1.2, the BPS 2000 offers a Command Line Interface (CLI)
management system. You can issue CLI commands through the serial port of the
switch or through a Telnet session. (The SNMPv3 and RMON features are not
supported.)
You can work with the CLI interactively, when you use the CLI command to
configure the switch command-by-command. You can also work with the CLI all
at once, when you use the CLI command to configure the network.
Refer to Reference for the Business Policy Switch 2000 Command Line Interface
Software Version 1.2 for complete information on accessing the CLI and all
commands.
Increased VLANs
The BPS 2000 software version 1.2 provides support for 256 virtual local area
networks (VLANs). These 256 VLANs can be spread among port-based,
protocol-based, and MAC source address-based VLANs (maximum of 48 MAC
source address-based VLANs). Finally, the 256 VLANs can be on a standalone
BPS 2000 with software version 1.2 or across a Pure BPS 2000 Stack with
software version 1.2.
If you are working with more than 64 VLANs in a Pure BPS 2000 Stack and you
change to a Hybrid Stack, you lose all VLANs. However, if you have up to 64
VLANs in the Pure BPS 2000 Stack and you change to a Hybrid Stack, you will
retain all the VLANs.
